Residents of Ashiya City in Hyogo Prefecture should be aware that the rules regarding garbage bags will change in October 2023, and a transition period has already begun as of April 2023.<\/p>\n
Ashiya City has asked that all garbage belonging to both the burnable and the non-burnable garbage groups be placed in designated Ashiya City garbage bags. These bags can be purchased in 45L, 30L, 15L, and 5L sizes.<\/p>\n
While the basic rule is simple enough to follow, there are some nuances for residents to be aware of:<\/p>\n
\u30fbBurnable and non-burnable garbage use the same bag type but cannot be placed inside the same bag.<\/p>\n
\u30fbBags containing non-burnable garbage should be clearly checked with a marker. There is a checkbox near the bottom of the garbage bag that says \u4e0d\u71c3 (Funen<\/em> – Non-burnable).<\/p>\n \u30fbAll garbage disposed of via the Pipeline must be placed in the designated garbage bags.<\/p>\n \u30fbRecyclable trash will still be dealt with the same way as before.<\/p>\n \u30fbYour garbage collection times and dates will most likely not change.<\/p>\n For further information, please refer to the official Ashiya City website<\/a><\/span>. Use browser translation to read the changes in a different language.<\/p>\n The design of the garbage bag can be seen on a separate webpage<\/a><\/span>, which should prove helpful for residents while shopping.<\/p>\n While the changes are straightforward, please comment if you have any questions or concerns.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\nUnaffected Points<\/h4>\n
